electric vehicle

The electric vehicle or EV, is a car or truck that drives solely on electricity. In other words, no gasoline, diesel or other traditional fuel is used to power the vehicle.

The electric vehicle is rechargeable at home in a regular power socket or in a higher power outlet, which often needs to be installed by an electrician. On the road there are also many charging points for electric vehicles. Most of those are of the higher power variety and can charge an electric vehicle in about four to six hours. Finally, there are fast-charging stations which can charge a drained electric battery back to 80% in around 30 to 40 minutes.

The electric vehicle is becoming more and more popular. Its technology develops rapidly at the moment and electric batteries can now make up to 300 miles of electric range. It is expected that this distance will increase over the upcoming years, while the battery’s quality and durability will increase as well.
